It's an amazing demonstration of years of work in about 20 min. Our ancestors were skilled beyond belief and you sir, have shown me a glimpse of that skill! Excellent video!
I enjoy the close ups very much thank you brilliant ancient skills…to quote the ancestors…those who remember the old ways will be the only ones who will see the future
You excellent fella. Very cool. Beautiful bit of flint. I live on the south downs and that is what we get. I've just started in the hope of making something good looking out of that stuff.
Hello will . I'm an instagrammer and also make videos for RUclips too . I've been following you for ages now and love what you do my friend . I too want to learn the ancient ways and am waiting for the green light to utilise a small patch of land where I can practise as you do . Much love from south wales my friend, and I hope you dont stop making these videos.
Do not take this the wrong way but your voice does not match your looks, which was infact a very pleasant surprise as your voice is very calming and pleasant to the ears. Made this video 10x more educational and fun!
I wonder Will Lord is it possible to make a flint pipe as in a tobacco pipe not to endorse it or anything just could be a little challenge if it's possible
Mr. Will Lord, I find your knapping videos o be very instructive and informing. That said, I admit to having some confusion about the angle to hold the flint, the angle to strike the flint, the resulting frature's angle, and setting up striking platforms. Please, would it be possible to do a video where you diagram these important fundamentals with a marker on paper, and back the diagrams up with real world knapping demonstrations? I imagine I am not your only viewer who is confused about these questions. Thanks for bringing the ancient skill to RUclips for us to learn, practice, and enjoy!
Totally mesmerized by the antiquity of this activity! One can imagine ancestors of old doing just the same. So skilled! How did you come to acquire your tools? Did you make them yourself? I would love to hear more details about everything you’re using and doing. Especially loved your expression, “song of the stone”! I have a thing for wind chimes and that’s one of the first things I noticed about your flint knapping: the beautiful melody it creates. PS BLOOD OFFERING AT THE END!!! Appropriate!!!!
This may be an odd question, but would prehistoric man have made gloves? With how laborious day-to-day life would have been for them, wouldn't they have had need for some sort of hand protection (outside of naturally-forming calluses)?
I'm not an expert, but I know that Native Americans in Texas used Rawhide and leather wrapped around their hands when they were flint-knapping or foraging through mesquite trees for pods and in other situations where sharp or jagged things could possibly tear up their hands. Though I am curious about other groups using that method around the world and even in the Americas.
Mister lord may be i can ask you a good question please. I have been a woodsman after my grandfather for many a year but why can't we live of our mother earth like the old ways . Awesome videos prim life all the way 👌👍✌

Действительно потрясающе. Удивительно насколько неслучайны результаты ударов Уилла. Все просчитано. Опытным путем.
Одним словом - эксперт!

Raymond Jakeman we can all add a little bit in mate and it brings us a little closer to the type of world we dream of
Brilliant! This just got me to sub!

Neolithic airplanes!
the hardest part of this, is actually finding flint
I found a huge flint bulb amongst quarried limestone recently.
@@bettygreenhansen gg
That's just a case of knowing where to look. The hardest thing is knowing what to do with it once you found it.
In what situation do you use an antler hamer, and witch do you use a stone hammer
At 19:45 you finally got into the shots we need to really see whats happening.
Aelfie
Can you explain exactly what you're doing and why your doing it more. Why for instance you take off each flake
I know the process of polishing the axe down is quite long but I’d love to at least see some of the process and stones used for polishing axes..
Is it me or does he look like the ultimate shaggy??
S O V I E T ASMR lol I’d go with that 😂
what was that fosle?
20:33 oof I know how you feel... It sucks when you smash your finger with an antler
How do I get a good hammer stone? What's a good kind of rock to use? Thanks.
Granite
If you ever make your way to America id be honored to put some ancient ink on your skin suit brother

14:17 ouch finger
HI THE WILL WILLY HERRRR HRRR USED TO USE FLINTY ROCK FOR CIRCUMSCISION IN ISRAEL

In ancient times any small wound could get infected and kill you.
